During a routine traffic stop, I was subjected to aggressive police behavior, including being pulled out of my car without consent and searched with a canine unit. The officers seized my money and drugs, and now they are pressuring me to cooperate or face charges. I am on parole but not for drug-related offenses. What are my legal options and how should I proceed?

I started a new job as the director of a preschool at a church making a salary of $56,000 per year. I was promised 37.5 hours per week, but I am now working 50-60 hours a week without additional pay or sick days. The church leadership says I cannot take a day off for 6 months. Is there a law to protect me so that I can work a normal amount of hours per week?

I am seeking advice on a mutual annulment in Colorado. We have already filled out the required paperwork and had it notarized. We are concerned about the annulment being approved due to time constraints or invalid reasons. What are the specific legal grounds for annulment in Colorado, and if our reasons align with these grounds, what is the likelihood of the annulment being processed and approved?

I filled out committal papers for my 15-year-old son with Autism Spectrum Disorder who is on an Ed Thomas Hold in Iowa. The hospital has not been able to place him due to 'unusual circumstances' and there is no child psychiatry offered. I was told the hearing would be on Wednesday, but today the Magistrate said I must appear on Monday. I am out of state and cannot attend on Monday or Tuesday. Are there any legal implications for my unavailability to a hearing that I cannot attend due to being out of state?

I was given a subpoena for a divorce case as a mental health counselor with only 7 days to respond. The attorney's office is aware of my professional witness fee but won't return my calls. Is this grounds to quash the subpoena for 'undue burden' since I will miss an entire day with clients or due to the lack of response time?

A doctor has deleted medical conditions and included inaccurate information in a patient's medical record, such as stating there are no mobility issues despite the patient being wheelchair-bound for 7 years. The patient advocate at the Military Treatment Facility (MTF) has refused to correct the record. What steps can be taken to have the record amended, and is it necessary to involve an outside independent body like Congress to address this issue?
